Lula kneels before Donald Trump and wishes him a fruitful administration

Lula has expressed his desire for a 'fruitful management' for the U.S. administration, highlighting the importance of peace and diplomacy.

The president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has expressed his support for United States President, Donald Trump. This comes before his inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Lula has expressed his wish for a "fruitful administration" for the U.S. administration. Highlighting the importance of peace and diplomacy in international relations.

In a meeting with his cabinet, Lula stated: "We don't want a fight with the Americans, we want peace." The Brazilian leader emphasized that his goal is to maintain harmonious relations with the United States and other countries, including Venezuela, China, India, and Russia.

"We want peace. We want harmony. We want to have a relationship where diplomacy is the most important thing, not disagreements and conflicts," he added.

Donald Trump will assume the presidency of the United States in a ceremony marked by the presence of right-wing leaders from Europe and America. Like Viktor Orbán, Giorgia Meloni, Javier Milei, and Nayib Bukele.

The absence of traditional figures and the presence of these leaders have caused concern among progressive leaders in the United States. Especially in the European Union.

International Reactions to the Inauguration

Trump's inauguration has sparked various reactions internationally. The European Union, for example, is closely watching the new president's trade policies, especially regarding threats to impose tariffs and his intention to influence Greenland. The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has initiated steps to prevent trade conflicts, proposing an increase in imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas.

During Jair Bolsonaro's presidency, Brazil and the United States maintained a close relationship. However, with Lula's assumption, relations between the two countries are expected to cool. Especially after Trump criticized several of the areas where Lula and the outgoing president, Joe Biden, agreed. Like the fight against global warming and the energy transition.
